I agree 1000% that the best way to learn something is to start with a problem that interests you, and dive into it. The opposite way, where you start with a technology that sounds interesting and new, and learn it for the sake of knowing it never worked for me.
- hodwik 11y agoI wish I could trade with you; I love learning stuff but it's not so much about using it practically, as it is that I just want to understand it. Unfortunately, for most stuff, at some point you simply must have a problem to solve to progress further, and that's where I get derailed. I have a hard time getting excited about the real-life problems, so I end up getting stuck in the beginning stages of new pursuits. I'll read textbooks, I'll memorize syntax, but I'm never drawn to getting my hands dirty. What I like about this sort of games is that they provide targeted problems for people who aren't naturally drawn to this stuff in practice.
